3G 3G+ 4G LTE WiMax What does the new iPhone have?

The Nexus 6 is far better on almost all important features than the iPhone 6s.

in other words, you're picking which features to compare.

the only fair comparison is with *all* features.

compared to an iphone 6s, the nexus 6 lacks a 64 bit processor,
advanced lte, a fingerprint sensor, 3d touch and live photos, just to
name a few.

also keep in mind that the nexus series is subsidized by google so
you're not actually paying the full retail price. google makes money by
monetizing users with ad revenue.

And, you can buy more than TWO Nexus 6 phones, for the price of one iPhone 6s!

no you can't.

when the nexus 6 came out last year, it was the same price as an iphone
6:

The Nexus 6 finally arrived in the Play Store in mid-October,
starting at $649 in either blue or white colors, but was severely
limited in availability until U.S. carriers started to sell it in
early November.

since the nexus 6 is now last year's model and because it didn't sell
that well, google has cut the price by $150, so it now starts at $500
on the play store.

One also has to wonder if Google makes any money on their hardware at
all. Their model is based purely around services and advertising, hence
why all their stuff is 'free'. Are they selling phones with low margins
just to ensure their userbase?

that's exactly what they're doing. amazon does the same with the kindle.

Maybe so. The only useful comparison is with those feaure that are
relevant to me. I agree that's hard to generalize, so one should read
different comparisons from different paople and discard those, that look
at irrelevant stuff.

Say you are a man and the phone has some feature that is of use only to
women. That feature has no use to you. So the fact that phone 1 has that
feature and phone 2 doesn't means that both are equal since phone 1 has
a feature of 0 value to you.

And when comparing specs on the "tech specs", it is not only impossible
to compare fairly because manufacturer s never put exactly the same
stuff on (for instance, Apple doesn't put CPU speed or RAM amount), but
often the specs can be misleading.

For instance a 8MP camera for an apple phone may appear to be inferior
to a 12MP camera on some Samsung on the specs. But when you dig deeper
and use your own experience, you may find the camera on the iphone
actually yields better pictures because of better exposure and colour
balance etc etc.

Similarly, the user interface on one phone may be better than on
another, yet, this is a highly pejorative measure and worse, one which
requires expereicne on both phones before a judgement can be made.

It is not fair to compare a phone with which you hyave years of
experience against a new phone on which you have 5 miniutes experience
and haven't learned any of the tricks to truly use it effectively.

the claim was that iphones are overpriced compared to products with
different specs. that's bullshit.

obviously, if the specs are different, the prices will be different. no
surprise there.

not only that, but the nexus 6 is partly subsidized by google because
google monetizes the user by pushing ads which is how they can afford
to sell it less than competing products. amazon does something similar
with the kindle.

if someone is going to say iphones are overpriced, then they must also
say samsung and htc phones are overpriced, some of which sell for
*more* than an iphone.

the only fair comparison is matching all specs as closely as possible.

I don't. I want my comparison to be relevant to those, whose needs and
wants more or less match mine. A comparison that includes everything
irrelevant to me is worthless for me, unless it's detailed enough to
rewrite it into another one that means something -- and then I'd still
prefer the one that does not need rewriting.

Different people value different comparisons by different authors,
there's no one size fits all.

you're talking about which product best fits your needs. that is *not*
the same as a price comparison. they are two totally different things.

comparing two products of differing specs to 'prove' that one company
makes more expensive products is bogus. period.

the product with better specs will almost always cost more than the
product with lesser specs. no surprise there.

price comparisons must *always* match specs as closely as possible.

you also have to look all products offered, not just two cherry-picked
products and take into account if a product is partly subsidized, as
what happens with google and amazon.

You would be hard pressed to find your twin among review-writers all the
time. The better policy for reviewers is to give the fullest possible
review and let each reader pick the features that are relevant to them.
Sorry that that much work is a burden to you.

I agree with the above. Especially the "let the reader pick the relevant
features".

The claim was made earlier that one needs to consider at all the specs.
This is different from having all the specs available and choosing which
are important.
